Nomads Hideaway Near Matara Railway Station

Matara

Set in Matara, 2.4 km from Matara Beach and 29 km from Hummanaya Blow Hole, Nomads Hideaway Near Matara Railway Station offers a garden and air conditioning.

We had a truly lovely stay at Nomads Hideaway. The villa is peaceful, beautifully designed, and surrounded by greenery, giving it a calm, tucked-away feeling. It’s clear that a lot of thought and care went into creating this space—from the natural materials to the cozy layout and relaxing garden nook. The hosts were kind, welcoming, and available when needed, which made everything feel easy and relaxed. Although it’s just a short distance from Matara and the beach, the villa feels like a quiet sanctuary—ideal for resting, reading, or simply being present. We only stayed for two nights but felt deeply nourished by the experience. We’d happily return for a longer stay next time. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a peaceful and soulful place to recharge.

The garden is crazy beautiful and peaceful, I could work outside with the sound or the birds or just chill in the hammock. The kitchen amenities are very superior to anywhere I've stayed in Sri Lanka. Oven is something very rare to find but here they have a good one! Also toaster, stove, kettle, mixer and even coffee grinder... Also, there's a clothing washing machine and washing powder , so I could wash my clothes by myself. 1min walk from a little perfect beach for a quick swim or watch the sunset. Loved it! Everything was clean and the owner and worker are super nice and helpful!

The room was absolutely immaculate when we arrived, and our lovely host was there to greet us with open arms. As we have been travelling for about 1.5 months we have stayed in many different types of accomodation but this room was the best. We felt as is we were in luxury in this more modern feeling home. It was great - as we arrived late there is a little restaurant right next door that do great roti and curry’s!

Amazing very kindly people that run this place, greeted with fruits & drinks + genuine conversation. Was also just given dinner (Rice + chicken) for nothing, very tasty & felt nice to not get ripped off in these places. For what I paid, a double bed room + AC & balcony view is definitely worth it. Location very close to train station also which helped me out. The man also owns a tuktuk:)

I stayed one night with my family during a two-day trip to southern Sri Lanka, and the experience was delightful. The villa is located just a few kilometers from Matara town, in a peaceful neighborhood, and is very well maintained. It can comfortably accommodate up to 12 guests, making it ideal for families or groups. I had the pleasure of meeting both the manager and the property owner, who were exceptionally courteous and professional. At my request, they prepared a traditional Sri Lankan breakfast of string hoppers, chicken curry, dhal curry, and pol sambol, which was outstanding. I would gladly return for another stay.

    The villa and pool is gorgeous, with stunning views of the ocean. The beds, rooms and kitchen were well stocked with good bedding and kitchen supplies. The caretaker was very helpful with meeting us and showing us where everything was and how to use all the facilities. The restaurants are not close by, but it is a very quick drive or a 15min walk away and not as busy as the surfer town of Hiriketiya.

    We had an amazing stay in this beautiful apartment! The bed was incredibly comfortable, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook dinner. The location is great and close to everything. The hosts were amazing and even kindly dropped us at the bus stop and helped us with our onward journey. We would definitely stay again!
